"The Ad Hoc Committee to Oversee the Use of the Catechism, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has found this catechetical text, copyright 2008, to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church."
The second edition of this text has the same sound theology with updated stories, images, and statistics! The Living Justice and Peace course empowers students to examine society critically based on values from the Scriptures and on the seven themes of Catholic Social Teaching. The text addresses specific topics including abortion, capital punishment, racism, poverty, the environment, and peace.
After providing students with three foundational chapters on justice and the Scriptures, Catholic social teaching, and a praxis model, the remaining seven chapters each take one of the themes. True stories of adults and teens who have experienced injustice or have transformed the world through acts of justice inspire students to reflect on their own ability to make a difference.
The teaching manual fully supports the student text and includes prayers, prayer services, review questions and answers, student activities, discussion questions, role-play situations, suggestions for interviews and guest speakers, student handouts, and much more.
 It's not a Catholic textbook October 29, 2008

I am in the process of trying to get this book removed from our Catholic High School. This book loves militant leftist/Marxist ideology, has an entire section on Liberation Theology, and overtly criticizes the US while praising socialism/communism. It doesn't mention great Catholic social justice saints like Vincent de Paul, Kolbe, or Francis of Assisi and barely mentions Mother Theresa. It is filled with moral relativism equating the Soviet Unioin to the USA stating directly they both wanted to militarily control the world in the cold war. This book is wrong historically, it fails to promote Catholicism, and is more aligned with the ideology of Reverend Jeremiah Wright than Benedict XVI. Did I mention the book doesn't even mention the Compendium of Catholic Social Justice Teaching? A Catholic school would be negligent to have this book in its curriculum.
